So I think the Buspar is working for my anxiety, yay!

I've only been on it for a few days now but the little things that used to bother me so much and get me so agitated and restless don't anymore. I hope that it is bc of the buspar bc I really don't want anymore med changes right now. I am going to continue taking the 10 mg in the morning and the 10 mg in the evening and see how I feel. Sometimes I get a little tired but I am not getting dizzy which is one of the major common side effects of the meds. Anyways, I will keep you posted but so far so good, knock on wood.

My son (13) takes buspar and he had the same side effects at first, but now he takes a small dosage 3 times a day and man it is a huge difference. A couple day's ago, I was bringing him his early afternoon dose, the pill is manufactured by the same as my klonopin, the only difference is the number on the back (OMG what a nightmare when filling med keepers), any way I accidentally took his, I think it may of worked better than what I have been taking for several years now! Don't worry the side effects will wear off and hopefully your doctor is slowly increasing your dosage, he started at 5mg twice a day and after about 6 months now takes 10 mg three times a day. Sounds like you have a good doctor, I know anxiety is horrible, especially when more than one person in the household has it.

I am glad theBuspar is working for you. I took it for a long time. Then I had a med change. I now take Lexapro which is for depression and anxiety and Seroquel(during the day and a large dose at night). Dealing with anxiety can be awful. I hope you continue to feel better.
